### gtk_scale_button_new ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_scale_button_new                (GtkIconSize size,
                                                             gdouble min,

Creates a GtkScaleButton, with a range between `min` and `max`, with a stepping of `step`.

`size` : | a stock icon size. [in]
`min` : | the minimum value of the scale (usually 0)
`max` : | the maximum value of the scale (usually 100)
`step` : | the stepping of value when a scroll-wheel event, or up/down arrow event occurs (usually 2)
`icons` : | a `NULL`-terminated array of icon names, or `NULL` if you want to set the list later with `gtk_scale_button_set_icons()`. [allow-none][array zero-terminated=1]
Returns : | a new GtkScaleButton

Since 2.12

## Property Details

### The `"adjustment"` property

      "adjustment"               GtkAdjustment*        : Read / Write

The GtkAdjustment that contains the current value of this scale button object.

### The `"icons"` property

      "icons"                    GStrv                 : Read / Write

The names of the icons to be used by the scale button. The first item in the array will be used in the button when the current value is the lowest value, the second item for the highest value. All the subsequent icons will be used for all the other values, spread evenly over the range of values.

If there's only one icon name in the `icons` array, it will be used for all the values. If only two icon names are in the `icons` array, the first one will be used for the bottom 50% of the scale, and the second one for the top 50%.

It is recommended to use at least 3 icons so that the GtkScaleButton reflects the current value of the scale better for the users.

Since 2.12

### The `"size"` property

      "size"                     GtkIconSize           : Read / Write

The icon size.

Default value: GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR

### The `"value"` property

      "value"                    gdouble               : Read / Write

The value of the scale.

Default value: 0
